    INSTRUCTIONS

    You can generally find a pretty bunch of Silk Flowers for as little as a $1. A bunch will make several pens. Start by pushing one leave or one set of leaves up on the stem to meet the flower. Use wire cutters to cut a 2 1/2 inch stem. Use a small piece of masking tape to secure the flower to a stick pen, so the flower sits nicely at the top of the pen. Wrap the green floral tape around the middle of the pen and by giving it a slight stretch start working your way down to the tip of the pen, then work your way back to the very top. If you have leaves with your flower weave the tape around the best you can. To finish it off just tear the floral tape and press it onto the pen with your finger. It’s done. Make several pens this way, and you have a bouquet. Find a sturdy container to put your bouquet into and set them by the phone. They will look pretty and be handy.

    Who wouldn’t like a bouquet of useful pens. A super gift to make for family and friends.
